Scored - cool sexual health program


This looks like a neat program that i read about in medical news today: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/113136.php


"Scored, a project run by the Birmingham Young People's Health Project which uses football to educate young people about sexual health and relationships is the winner of the 2008 Pamela Sheridan Award for excellence in sex and relationships education (SRE). The Scored project ran a 12 week course for eleven young people aged between 13 and 18. Using football and practical sessions young people were given information to make choices about their sexual health and were encouraged to look at their decision making and communication skills. Scored used football and the association of fair play 'on and off' the field to look at a range of topics including the responsibilities of sexual health, body changes, contraception and sexually transmitted infections. These sessions were followed by football training with a qualified coach helping them develop team building skills and fitness. "
